THAT Was ALI"

The late David Snow, President Of
The Bank of the Republic, in this city,
was remarkably well-informed in all
mercantile matters, and found time
nearly every day to visit the Produce
Exchange, where he looked out for an
occasional investment. Meeting one
day large flour dealer named Willis
House on Change, Mr. Snow asked
him how things were in the market.
Dull as death, responded House; 81
would like to see the man who will give
me $40 barrel for thousand barrels

time)
"I'll give it to you," said Snow.
House knew Shows sharpness in the
market, and after staring at him o
moment said:
"That's all; only wanted to see the

Matthew'S Rejection.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The Star
says: The Republican senator's are
uneasy at the attitude of the colored
people in regard to the rejection of
Matthews. The Republicans of the
senate who voted to confirm Matthews
maintain that a mistake was made in
rejecting him. In order to counteract
the fee ing of resentfulness among the
colored people of the country, Senator
ingalls,, chairman of the committee
which considered the case and recon-
mcnded rejection, prepared letter
setting forth the reasons for the course
adopted. 1t will probably come up at
the next executive session, and it may
provoke a political fight, as the Demo-
Gratis are not disposed to permit the
Republican majority to issue any pub
lie excuses or explanations in regard
to Matthews.

Poisoned Candy Sent as Present TO
Some Children.

JACKSON, Mich, Feb. 1.-The sensa-
tional divorce case of Mrs. |. f. Whit
man against her husband, prominent
business man, was brought to a climax
to-day. Mrs. Whitman objected to the
presence of Sarah Mclean, the woman
in the case. in her (Mrs. Whitman's)
home and went to her brothers.
This morning at breakfast a box of
candy was received by the children of
Fred yelling, Mrs. Whitman's brother.
and they ate Fit. Yelling also ate
some of it. At noon the children were
taken very sick and yelling came
in later, also sick. A physician found
that arsenic poisoning was the cause.

Doings at Sweetwater.

SwEETwATER, Feb. This county
is still a dry as a powder house. The
rain reported from various points in
Texas did not reach here. Notwith-
standing this, stock of all kinds are in
splendid condition, and the wheat is
not yot MI dead. If there is rain in
time to SOW oats and plant corn and
make grass, West Texas will yet "blos-
som rs n rose"
Some public spirited citizeps have
offered to give $1,000 as n starter
toward building good schoolhouse
in Sweetwater, provided the general
public would raise enough to make
the amount equal the special tax of 20
cents on the 500, lately voted for that
purpose, which amount will be about
$4,000, making the full sum Of $4,000
available for the purpose of building
schoolhouse.
In view OF the many reports of suf-
fering for the necessaries of life now
being constantly circulated about the
whole of the dry belt, it may be said
that il there are any such sufferers in
Nolan county they have not been
heard Of Yet many people realize
fully the very grave position they will
be placed in if the weather continues
dry this spring, and doubtless many
good people think they can almost see
''the wolf" at their threshold; but
with reasonable soring and seed to
plant and SOW small farmers will be
able to pull through. But they must
have seed, and they have no money
with which to buy any.

New Cruisers.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The naval
committee OH construction has reached
all agreement, which will doubtless re-
ceive the approval of the full cnmmit-
tee, looking to a full appropriation
for the construction of two 1000 ton
cruisers of the Newark type, five 1900
ton gunboats, patterned after guG-
boat No. 1, and the seagoing torpedo
boats. There is an intention on the
part of several members of the COM

reached in the house 10 move an in
crease of the appropriation SO as to
provide for the construction of at
least three vessels in addition to those
already described.

FEMININE FANCIES.
The Latest Kinks Affected by the Leaders
 of New York Society.


 of New York Society.
 Silk astraehan is very popular trim ming material for both bonnets and wraps.
 Bretelles and other V-shaped corsage trimmings are meeting with much favor.
 The latest importations of bonnets show much smaller shapes than here- tofore.
 Red is favorite color for evening dresses for entire costumes as well as for accessories.
 The torture does not diminish in size, as was predicted, but, on the con- trary, is worn larger than ever.
 Mauve, so long a neglected color, is once more fashionable. It is especially favored for house toilets.
 Moire and lace-striped silk is a new material for evening dresses, and is shown in several delicate shades of color.
 French ladies are wearing dresses of plaid wool this winter. The latest fancy is to have all the plaids of the skirt bias
 Beading appears as an establishment for every sort of dress, and new de- signs seem to appear daily, for every conceivable use
 Habit basques of velvet are much worn with skirts of striped fabrics of silk and velvet. These skirts are very fall, and much gored in front.
 Young ladies button the corsages of silk and satin evening toilets down the back, the front opening in heart shape over dainty chemisette Russo of pearled net, crepe lisse or embroidered India muslin.
 Full pinked ruches edge the skirts of several Parisian tailor-made gowns re- gently imported. One of tricot cloth of pale doe color had ruche about eight inches wide, very full, and plaited so as to form rosettes placed close to- gether.
 Black Lyons velvet brocaded with gold leaves was the material of some recently imported wraps for dress wear They were in visite shape, lined with gold-colored satin, and broad bands of black marabout flecked with gold served as trimming.
 Plush and velvet redingotes and sur touts are again fashionable. They fit the form very snugly, and reach nearly to the foot of the dress-skirt. The backs are arranged in deep plaits and are very full. Myrtle and chartreuse green, golden and seal brown, dark Venetian red and the heliotrope shades are fayoIite colors for these garments N J.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.


 IA common hoe, strengthened out by a blacksmith, makes cheap and excellent implement for choppirg roots for stock. Troy Times.
 In favor of farming, observes re- cent writer, it may be truly said that a greater proportion of those who begin by working on farm rise to compe- tence and moderate wealth than in any other pursuit--N F Examiner.
 -Breeding-animals should not be kept too fat, and those that are intended for breeding purposes should not be fed with those being fatted for market. If the females be too fat the young will be weak and puny.- Western Rural
 Cracker pudding: One egg, three tablcspoonfuls of sugar, one pint of milk, two or three milk crackers rolled. nutmeg and a pinch of salt. Bake about three-quarters of an hour. Run the handle of spoon down the center of the pudding, if it does not look milky it is done. e.-The Household.
 A correspondent of the Rural Neac- Yorker has often noticed with regret the valuable time wasted by farmers around the stove in the village store. In some cases every stove in town has 2 dozen or more patrons who spend nearly all their spare time hugging it. As a rule, the topics discussed at these gatherings are unproiitable, if not alto gether damaging.
 It may not be generally known that cold food is more easily kept on sem sitive stomach than hot; SO in cases where it is rejected in the ordinary warm or hot form, it had better be tried as nearly frozen as can be taken. In many levers this would be decided advantage. The prejudice against cold food is, perhaps, natural, but we carry it too far Milk may be administered in frozen state, often with positive advantage. Cincinnati Times.
 -Mr. Angel, in his latest circular letter against the docking of horses tails, gives it as his opinion that horses tormented through hot weather by flies in the daytime and mosquitoes at night can not be so safely used as horses which have not been deprived of na- ture's protection. If, as Agassiz and many others have thought, there is a future life for horses as well as men, and if we are ever called upon to answer in that life for our treatment of these dumb creatures here, how can we jus tify our approval or consent to this act of cruelty which only ends with the death of the horse?- Chicago Tribune.

Muck as a Fertilizer.

Farmers who can dig muck from the swamps in winter will do well to do it. There is a great deal of swamp muck, especially that of a pcaty nature, that when weathered and frosted and then dried by the action of the summers sun is worth as much, load for load, as good ban-yard manure. Analysis shows it to contain two to three per cent of ammonia generally, and often more. This is not dissipated when the muck is weathered and dried, and not only so, but when it is composted with stable manure it prevents the valuable constituents of that from wasting. We have never known such composts, though three-quarters muck, that were not just as good, load for load, as barn. yard manure. American Dairymaa.
